A man of literature and dreams.
Since the decision to discharge the contaminated water from Fukushima into the sea, Japan** has been busy dealing with strong skepticism and opposition from both home and abroad. They try to confuse the concept of "tritium water" normally discharged from nuclear power plants with nuclear-contaminated water, and claim that their nuclear-contaminated water "has long been up to standard and can be discharged".
However, these arguments have not deceived the world, but have aroused doubts from more countries and authoritative figures in Japan. No, Japan's own experts could not sit still and openly pointed out that the discharge of nuclear-contaminated water into the sea was indeed problematic.
Recently, Tatsujiro Suzuki, a well-known expert in the field of nuclear policy in Japan and deputy director of the Center for Nuclear Abolition Research at Nagasaki University, questioned the scientificity and safety of the discharge of "contaminated water" from the Fukushima nuclear plant into the sea in an interview. He called on Japan** to suspend the discharge into the sea and set up an independent monitoring body and a long-term feedback mechanism.
You know, this expert has a lot of background, and he should not be underestimated. At the time of the Fukushima nuclear accident in Japan, Suzuki was the chairman of the Nuclear Energy Committee of the Japanese Cabinet, so his views are worthy of attention and thought.
First of all, the scientificity and safety of Japan's discharge of nuclear-contaminated water into the sea are very questionable.
Japan** has been trying to justify the "normal discharge of 'tritium water' from nuclear power plants at home and abroad", but this confusion will only lead to misunderstandings. The "tritium water" normally discharged from nuclear power plants is produced by cooling water and does not contain other radioactive substances, while the Fukushima "treated water" is contaminated water that comes into direct contact with nuclear molten fuel, but the nuclides other than tritium are treated below the standard by technical means.
It should be pointed out that there is no precedent in the world for discharging such "polluted water" into the sea, which cannot but raise concerns about the level of safety risks.
Second, the credibility of Japan** and TEPCO is worrying.
They have repeatedly claimed that the discharge was to free up storage space for the use of molten fuel during "furnace use" operations. However, TEPCO has never been clear about the exact timing of the withdrawal of these fuels, and there is no guarantee that it will be realized. In addition, Japan** and TEPCO have promised local fishermen in Fukushima that they will not discharge into the sea until the stakeholders understand it.
However, the local fishermen saw the fact that in the midst of opposition, they had already forcibly carried out three rounds of discharge. This disregard for the public interest has sparked strong discontent at home and abroad.
Therefore, Japan** should immediately correct its illegal act of forcibly discharging the sea into the sea. On the one hand, they need to have a correct understanding of the nature of the issue, go beyond the scope of science, and address the concerns of all parties. On the other hand, they should immediately halt the discharge process and establish an independent monitoring body trusted by all stakeholders to monitor the entire discharge plan.
Finally, they need to establish a long-term feedback and adjustment mechanism to assess the impact of the discharge on humans and the ecological environment, and flexibly adjust the disposal methods according to the actual situation.
On top of this, Japan can also take other approaches to exclusion and engage in ongoing dialogue with relevant stakeholders. It will take time and effort to restore credibility, and now is the time for Japan** to act.
Japan's decision was a surprise!Before the nuclear-contaminated water was discharged into the sea, the tritium concentration was no longer confirmed, and the incident was very sudden: Japan was the first to hit the muzzle of the gun, don't believe it: The meeting between the leaders of China and Japan in San Francisco proved that Japan will always be more "ghost" than South Korea, so what's the use?Japan's third nuclear pollutant release has also begun.
